Another flight this time only 1 hour to Cusco the gateway <almost) to the Inca Trail. Our bookings are confirmed and we are taking the diuretics, and consequently visiting the bathroom every 5 minutes, resting and drinking lots of water, in other words doing everything the book says to acclimatise and we both feel really good and getting excited.

Cusco is beautiful high steep hills with houses hugging all the way up. Surrounded by mountains with a touch of snow. Lots of Indians trying to sell colourful goods. We will contribute to the economy when we get back from the trail.
